About this listen

Read by the author, Bobby Bolton.

Join Bobby Bolton and his trusted dog, Red, as they drive from Wigan across the world – and fall in love with life again . . .

When Bobby’s eleven-year relationship broke down, he thought he’d hit rock bottom. Then a bad economic turn and a run of unlucky business deals drove his hard-earned construction company into the ground, and Bobby discovered what it was to lose all purpose in life.

Drowning his sorrows in a pub one day, Bobby boldly declared that he would turn his life around by driving from his hometown of Wigan all the way to Australia. The next day, he sold what was left of his business and spent every penny converting a truck that he would drive and live in with his dog, Red.

A couple of weeks in, fate struck when Bobby met a beautiful woman named Marie while hiking in the South of France and fell head over heels in love. After just two dates she joined him in his truck to see what might happen next. And this was only the start of the adventure . . .

Paying corrupt Russian policemen bribes; digging out mountain passes in Albania with an old spade; getting punched at the Kazakhstan border; surviving a mountain track collapse in Italy; being interrogated by the Taliban at a dangerous checkpoint; and sliding down a snow-covered ridge, ice axe in hand, to rescue his new girlfriend as she fell two-hundred metres, narrowly avoiding a cliff face . . . it’s one way to reconnect with the world around you.

Action-packed and completely inspirational, Bobby Bolton’s Truck It! is an epic adventure with heart and a good dose of northern charm.

This is a great listen and a lesson for all the woke young people who expect the world to be handed to them on a plate The author and his travel partner encountered some seriously difficult situations but overcame them, often laughing. Learning from what went wrong and what went right. I really hope there is another book about their next adventure. I highly recommend this book to anyone seriously seeking adventure.

Probably my favourite listen of the year. Not heard anything like it before, a totally different type of book about a unique journey. I'll be listening to it many times again

loved it all! having watched all of the journey as it unfolded i wondered if the book would add to it, and it did more than that. if theres ever a couple you want to see succeed in their adventures it's Bobby & Marie, along with their sidekicks Red & Rubia. Long may their adventures continue!!

Fabulous!!

From start to finish this book had me captivated. Bobby writes and tells an extremely honest tale of how he turned his life around from a pit of depression where everything seemed to be falling down around him, to a life of happiness and adventure on the road. If you don’t believe in fate, maybe you will after hearing this story.

A fast paced adventure across the world
